Pachysandra

Pachysandra has long been a popular ground cover, and for good reason: It’s low maintenance, evergreen, drought-tolerant, and resistant to both deer and rabbits. It favors shade, so it's an excellent choice for a carpet of greenery beneath the trees or as a border or foundation plant in spots that don't get a lot of sun. Available on Amazon; $21.99 for 25 bare-root plants.
